I sure hope they donít tear down that clock tower in Royal Oak. It is a beautiful piece of work and it also tells you what time it is.

Those K-9 dogs who help the police departments sure are a great asset. They help catch suspects, such as those involved in robberies recently in Royal Oak. That is good work. -- Hazel Park

The Affordable Health Care Act will give millions of Americans health care that they otherwise couldnít afford and, without it, they would only end up on Medicaid, which is also paid by taxpayers anyway. It is going to make insurance companies that are forced to accept patients with pre-existing illnesses very angry. Insurance companies are bound to go on the warpath.

The executive branch of the U.S. government is headed by the president, and his job is to make sure the laws are carried out. Why then does he think it is OK for illegal immigrants to come to the United States? Doesnít he know that illegal is illegal? His way is not the way it is supposed to work. He is supposed to be protecting the United States.

Libraries are usually built to honor former presidents and they are paid for by donors, but on completion, we, the taxpayers pay for the maintenance to keep them open. Who is going to pay for all the homes that will need to be torn down and roads needed to be built on both sides of the river to make room for the new bridge to Canada? What about the cost of insurance to pay for any catastrophes? Will it be the taxpayers who pay for that too?
